14 players who famously went on trial with Rangers but never signed a contract including Champions League winner

Rangers have taken a countless number of players on trial over the last two decades - some memorable and others who left in the blink of an eye

When it comes to taking players on trial, few supporters will remember those who passed on the chance to sign for Rangers.

The Ibrox club have offered numerous players seeking to win a deal the chance to impress, but some names probably won’t resonate with fans - the likes of former Stuttgart goalkeeper Rouven Sattelmaier and ex-Boca Juniors youth star Francesco Celeste to name a few. How many of these 14 Rangers trialists from the last two decades can you remember? GlasgowWorld takes a closer look at those contract hopefuls, and where they ended up after failing to put pen to paper.
